From 1 January 2014, as a result of Financial Reporting Standards 111 Joint Arrangements, CMT and its subsidiaries (CMT Group) has
changed its accounting policy for its interests in joint arrangements and the consolidated results of CMT Group are based on equity
accounting. For comparison purpose, the numbers for 2010 to 2013 had been restated. Consequently, the affected key financial indicators
(except Aggregate Leverage) have also been restated accordingly.

Refers to the expenses of the Trust, excluding property expenses and finance costs but including performance component of CapitaMall

Higher in 2012 mainly due to the repayment of commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) borrowings under Silver Maple Investment
Corporation Ltd of S$783.0 million on 31 October 2012. Following the repayment, the properties mortgaged under the CMBS borrowings
namely Tampines Mall, Junction 8, Funan DigitaLife Mall, IMM Building, Bugis Junction, Sembawang Shopping Centre and JCube were
discharged and released.
Higher in 2013 mainly due to the redemption and cancellation of the remaining S$98.25 million in principal amount of S$650.0 million 1.0%
convertible bonds due 2013 (Convertible Bonds due 2013) at 109.31% of the principal amount upon maturity. Following the redemption and

it was assumed that bondholders of the Convertible Bonds due 2013 would hold to maturity on 2 July 2013.

Medium Term Notes issued under CMT MTN Pte. Ltd. (CMT MTN) in 2012.
Higher in 2014 mainly due to the long tenures of between seven to 10.5 years for three series of Medium Term Notes issued under CMT MTN
in 2014, partially offset by the redemption of the S$350.0 million in principal amount of the convertible bonds due 2014.

Letter to Unitholders
CMTs distribution per unit for 2014 grew 5.6% to 10.84 cents.
Strong portfolio of strategically located malls that serve large population
catchment areas and cater predominantly to necessity shopping.
Dear Unitholders,
CapitaMall Trust (CMT) delivered another set of good
results and increased its distributions to Unitholders
in 2014. Distribution per unit (DPU) was 10.84 cents,
5.6% higher than the DPU of 10.27 cents for 2013.
Based on CMTs closing price of S$2.040 per unit on
31 December 2014, the distribution yield was 5.3%,
approximately 300 basis points higher than the yield
for the 10-year Singapore Government bond.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2014,
gross revenue grew 3.3% year-on-year to S$658.9
million, while net property income increased 2.2%
year-on-year to S$448.4 million. Our share of
gross revenue and net property income in the joint
Letter to Unitholders
Extracting Value from Investment Activities
Westgate, an integrated retail and office
development, commenced mall operations on
2 December 2013. As at 31 December 2014,
Westgates committed occupancy was 97.7%,
up from 85.8% a year ago. The mall enjoys an
average monthly shopper traffic of 2.8 million.
On 23 January 2014, a consortium exercised its
options to purchase Westgate Tower for a total
consideration of approximately S$579.4 million
(CMTs 30.00% share amounted to S$173.8 million).
Westgate Tower obtained the temporary occupation
permit on 9 October 2014 and CMT registered a net
gain of approximately S$47.5 million.
Strong Balance Sheet and Financial Flexibility
In 2014, we raised about S$820.3 million through
issuances of retail bonds and a series of notes.
In February, we issued S$350.0 million seven-year
retail bonds at an interest rate of 3.08% per annum.
The retail bond offering generated keen interest
from both retail and institutional investors. The initial
public offer of S$150.0 million was approximately
2.8 times subscribed, while the initial placement
tranche of S$50.0 million was approximately
2.4 times subscribed. To meet the strong demand,
the size of the bond offer was increased from the
initial S$200.0 million to the maximum issue size of
S$350.0 million.
For the notes issuances, we tapped the debt
markets in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore and
issued notes with debt tenures ranging from seven to
10.5 years. As a result, we extended CMTs average
term to debt maturity to 4.7 years, compared to
3.8 years at the end of 2013. We swapped the notes
into Singapore dollars at fixed rates to eliminate
currency and interest rate risks.
During the year, we fully redeemed S$350.0 million
in convertible bonds due in April 2014 and
redeemed S$150.0 million in fixed rate notes due in
September 2014.
On 5 February 2015 and 9 February 2015, we issued
HK$1.104 billion 12-year fixed rate medium term
notes and 8.6 billion 8-year floating rate medium
term notes which were swapped into S$192.8
million and S$100.0 million at fixed rates of 3.25%
and 2.85% per annum respectively.

Mr Alden Tan
Managing Director
KOPITIAM
We opened in Plaza Singapura in the 1990s and have
since enjoyed a fantastic partnership with CapitaMall
Trust. CapitaMall Trust has always stayed ahead of
retail trends and is one of the first few shopping mall
owners to introduce asset enhancement initiatives.
These initiatives help to ensure that CapitaMall Trusts
shopping malls remain relevant over the years and
have greatly benefitted our business. CapitaMall Trust
has a professional and efficient team whom we enjoy
working with.
Mr Angelo Augustus
Managing Director
HARVEY NORMAN
CapitaMall Trust has a firm understanding of the local
retail scene, the varied needs of different retailers
and the type of support we need at different stages
of development and market cycle. It has also been
proactive in engaging us on ways to improve our
businesses and grow together. We are glad to have
a strong partnership with CapitaMall Trust and look
forward to many more good years of collaboration.
Mr Katsuharu Inamoto
Managing Director
BHG
BHG currently operates three of our six Singapore
stores in CapitaMall Trusts malls. In 2014, we renovated
our flagship store in Bugis Junction, which received
positive feedback from our customers. With the rise
of e-commerce and entry of new shopping malls and
foreign brands, BHG needs to continually improve,
differentiate and focus on our target customers needs
to provide them with better merchandise, brands,
service and shopping environment. We are very happy
to have partnered CapitaLand for the last 20 years.
We look forward to an even deeper and stronger
working relationship in the years to come.
Mr Take Umiyama
Managing Director
OWNDAYS
CapitaMall Trust is the largest shopping mall owner
in Singapore with a business model that benefits both
tenants and shoppers. In 2013, we opened our first
Singapore store in Plaza Singapura and have since
added four more stores in shopping malls under
CapitaMall Trust, namely Raffles City Singapore,
Bugis+, IMM Building and JCube. CapitaMall Trusts
in-depth industry knowledge, strong support for its
tenants and strategic mall locations have helped us
to successfully grow our brand in Singapore. We look
forward to working closely with CapitaMall Trust as we
expand our presence in Singapore.
Mr Mark Shaw
Executive Vice President
SHAW THEATRES
Our theatres are located in Bugis Junction, JCube
and Lot One Shoppers Mall, which are all strategically
located at or near transportation hubs to deliver
convenience to our movie goers. CapitaMall Trust has
always been supportive of our business and we look
forward to a long-standing and strong partnership.
Ms Jean Yip
Chairman
Mr Takamitsu Ohara
Managing Director
DAISO JAPAN
We opened our first Singapore store in IMM Building
in 2002, and since then, we have been expanding our
business with CapitaLands malls. Our partnership
extends beyond CapitaMall Trusts malls in Singapore
to CapitaLands malls in Malaysia, China and Japan.
We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with
CapitaMall Trust and CapitaLand for the last 13 years.
During this period, we faced some difficulties at certain
points, but CapitaLand was always there to provide
support in our expansion plans. We look forward to
further strengthening our relationship with CapitaMall
Trust and to continue expanding with CapitaLands
malls in Singapore and overseas.

BUGIS JUNCTION
The shopping environment here at Bugis Junction
is very pleasant and it is very accessible as it
is connected to Bugis MRT Interchange Station.
My family and I enjoy coming here due to the
wide variety of restaurants. We visit the mall every
Sunday. With the CapitaCard, it makes shopping
even more enjoyable. The mall is also very clean.
CLARKE QUAY
We visit Clarke Quay almost every week, for the
nice ambience and good food. It is a place where
we gather for all sorts of occasions. An awesome
place by the river!
JUNCTION 8
Its great shopping here! So convenient for meeting
up with friends! Our favourite spot is at Coffee Bean
where fabulous coffee can be found.
PLAZA SINGAPURA
We visit this mall at least twice a month. We love this
mall as it is a direct train ride from where we live in
Punggol. The revamped mall is impressive as there
is a greater variety of shops which we frequent.
TAMPINES MALL
Tampines Mall is a very child-friendly mall. It is
always very crowded but I enjoy my shopping
experience here. There are many shops that I like,
for example shops for my child, as well as the food
court, which provides me with many food options.
I visit Tampines Mall at least once a week.
WESTGATE
The design is interesting and unique, allowing us
to explore the whole place. The selection of tenants
gives us much more choices, makes every trip here
a new experience.

Corporate Governance
OUR ROLE
Our primary role as the manager of CMT (Manager) is to set the strategic direction of CMT and make
recommendations to HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited, in its capacity as trustee
of CMT (Trustee), on acquisition, divestment and enhancement of the assets of CMT in accordance
with its stated investment strategy. The research, evaluation and analysis required for this purpose
are coordinated and carried out by us as the Manager.
As the Manager, we have general powers of management over the assets of CMT. Our primary
responsibility is to manage the assets and liabilities of CMT for the benefit of the unitholders of CMT
(Unitholders). We do this with a focus on generating rental income and enhancing asset value over
time so as to maximise the returns from the investments, and ultimately the distributions and total
returns to Unitholders.
Our other functions and responsibilities as the Manager include:
(a)
using our best endeavours to conduct CMTs business in a proper and efficient manner and to
conduct all transactions with, or on behalf of, CMT at arms length;
(b) preparing annual business plans for review by the directors of the Manager (Directors),
including forecasts on revenue, net income and capital expenditure, explanations on major
variances to previous years plans, written commentaries on key issues and underlying
assumptions on rental rates, operating expenses and any other relevant assumptions;
(c)
ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, including the Listing Manual of
Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) (Listing Manual), the Code on
Collective Investment Schemes (CIS Code) issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore
(MAS) (including Appendix 6 of CIS Code (Property Funds Appendix)) and the tax rulings issued
by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore on the taxation of CMT and Unitholders;
supervising CapitaLand Retail Management Pte Ltd (Property Manager), the property manager
which performs the day-to-day property management functions (including leasing, marketing,
promotion, coordination and property management) for CMTs malls; with regard to Raffles City
Singapore (RCS), which is held by CMT and CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT) in the proportions
of 40.00% and 60.00% respectively, the Property Manager holds 40.00% interest in CapitaLand
(RCS) Property Management Pte. Ltd. which provides property management services to RCS
with CapitaLand Commercial Management Pte. Ltd., the property manager of the properties
owned by CCT, holding the other 60.00%. As a result of its interest in CapitaLand (RCS) Property
Management Pte. Ltd., the Property Manager is able to play a key role in directing the property
management function for RCS.
The Manager also considers sustainability issues (including environmental and social factors) as part
of its responsibilities. CMTs environmental sustainability and community outreach programmes are
set out on pages 102 to 107 of the Annual Report.
CMT, constituted as a trust, is externally managed by the Manager and therefore has no personnel
of its own. The Manager appoints experienced and well qualified management to run its day-to-day
operations. All Directors and employees of the Manager are remunerated by the Manager and not
CMT.
The Manager was appointed in accordance with the terms of the trust deed constituting CMT and
dated 29 October 2001 (as amended, varied or supplemented from time to time) (Trust Deed). The
Trust Deed also outlines certain circumstances under which the Manager can be removed, including
by notice in writing given by the Trustee upon the occurrence of certain events, or by a resolution
passed by a simple majority of Unitholders present and voting at a meeting of Unitholders duly
convened and held in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed.
The Manager is a subsidiary of CapitaLand Limited (CL) which holds a significant unitholding interest
in CMT. CL is a long-term real estate developer and investor and has strong inherent interests in the
performance of CMT. CLs retention of a significant unitholding interest in CMT ensures its
commitment to CMT and aligns its interests with other Unitholders. The Managers association with
CL provides the following benefits, amongst other things, to CMT:
(a)
(b) wider and better access to banking and capital markets on favourable terms;
(c)
Corporate Governance
(A) BOARD MATTERS
The Boards Conduct of Affairs
Principle 1:
Every company should be headed by an effective Board to lead and control the company. The
Board is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the company. The Board works
with Management to achieve this objective and Management remains accountable to the Board.
The Manager is led by a board of Directors (Board) comprising a majority of non-executive
independent Directors. Each Director brings to the Board skills, experience, insights and sound
judgement, which together with his strategic networking relationships, serve to further the interests
of CMT. At all times, the Directors are collectively and individually obliged to act honestly and with
diligence, and consider the best interests of Unitholders.
The Board oversees the affairs of the Manager, in furtherance of the Managers primary responsibility
to manage the assets and liabilities of CMT for the benefit of Unitholders. The Board appoints the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who, assisted by the management team of the Manager
(Management), is responsible for the day-to-day management and overall operations of CMTs
business.
The Board provides leadership to the Management, sets strategic directions and oversees the
management of CMT. The Board establishes goals for Management and monitors the achievement of
these goals. It ensures that proper and effective controls are in place to assess and manage business
risks and compliance with requirements under the Listing Manual, the Property Funds Appendix, as
well as any other applicable guidelines prescribed by the SGX-ST, the MAS or other relevant
authorities, and applicable laws. It also sets the disclosure and transparency standards for CMT and
ensures that obligations to Unitholders and other stakeholders are understood and met.
The Board has reserved authority to approve certain matters and these include:
(a)
(d) matters which involve a conflict of interest for a controlling unitholder or a Director.
Various Board Committees, namely the Audit Committee (AC), Corporate Disclosure Committee
(CDC), Executive Committee (EC) and Investment Committee (IC) have been constituted with clear
written terms of reference to assist the Board in the discharge of its functions. The composition of the
various Board Committees is set out on page 53 of the Annual Report.
Each of these Board Committees operates under delegated authority from the Board. The Board may
form other Board Committees as dictated by business imperatives. Membership of the various Board
Committees is managed to ensure an equitable distribution of responsibilities among Board
members, to maximise the effectiveness of the Board and to foster active participation and
contribution from Board members. Diversity of experience and appropriate skills are considered in
the composition of the respective Board Committees.
The Board has adopted a set of internal controls which establishes approval limits for, amongst other
things, capital expenditure, investments, divestments and debts. Apart from matters that specifically
require the Boards approval, the Board delegates authority for transactions below those limits to
Board Committees and Management. Approval sub-limits are also provided at management level to
optimise operational efficiency.
The Board meets at least once every quarter, and as required by business imperatives. Where
exigencies prevent a Director from attending a Board meeting in person, the Articles of Association
of the Manager permit the Director to participate via teleconferencing or video conferencing. The
Board and Board Committees may also make decisions by way of resolutions in writing.
A total of four Board meetings were held in FY 2014. A table showing the attendance record of
Directors at meetings of the Board and AC during FY 2014 is set out on page 53 of the Annual Report.
The Manager believes in the manifest contribution of its Directors beyond attendance at formal Board
and Board Committees meetings. To judge a directors contributions based on his attendance at
formal meetings alone would not do justice to his overall contributions, which include being
accessible by Management for guidance or exchange of views outside the formal environment of
Board and Board Committees meetings.
The Manager provides suitable training for Directors. Upon appointment, each Director is provided
with a formal letter of appointment and is also given a copy of the Directors Manual (which includes
information on a broad range of matters relating to the role of a director). All Directors on appointment
are required to undertake an induction programme to familiarise themselves with matters relating to
the business activities of CMT, its strategic directions and policies, the regulatory environment in
which CMT operates and the Managers corporate governance practices. The Manager also provides
appropriate training for first-time directors including industry-specific knowledge.
Following their appointment, Directors are provided with opportunities for continuing education in
areas such as directors duties and responsibilities, changes to regulations and accounting
standards and industry-related matters, so as to be updated on matters that affect or may enhance
their performance as Directors or Board Committee members.
Board Composition and Guidance
Principle 2:
There should be a strong and independent element on the Board, which is able to exercise
objective judgement on corporate affairs independently, in particular, from Management and
10% shareholders. No individual or small group of individuals should be allowed to dominate
the Boards decision making.
The Board comprises individuals who are business leaders and professionals with financial, banking,
fund management, real estate, legal, investment and accounting backgrounds. The varied
background of the Directors enables Management to benefit from their external, diverse and
objective perspectives on issues brought before the Board. The size and composition of the Board
are reviewed regularly to ensure that the Board is of appropriate size and has an optimal mix of
expertise and experience, and comprises persons who, as a group, provide the necessary core
competencies, taking into consideration the nature and scope of CMTs operations.
The Board presently comprises 10 Directors, of whom six are non-executive independent Directors.
The profiles of the Directors are set out on pages 21 to 30 of the Annual Report.
Corporate Governance
The independence of each Director is reviewed by the Board upon appointment, and thereafter
annually and as and when circumstances require. An independent director is one who has no
relationship with the Manager, its related corporations, its shareholders who hold 10% or more of the
voting shares in the Manager, or Unitholders who hold 10% or more of the units in issue of CMT or
its officers that could interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of the
Directors independent business judgement in the best interests of CMT. The Board has determined
that Mr Danny Teoh Leong Kay, Mr Fong Kwok Jen, Mr Gay Chee Cheong, Mr Lee Khai Fatt, Kyle,
Maj-Gen (NS) Ng Chee Khern and Mr Richard Rokmat Magnus are independent Directors under the
Code.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Principle 3:
There should be a clear division of responsibilities between the leadership of the Board and the
executives responsible for managing the companys business. No one individual should
represent a considerable concentration of power.
To maintain an appropriate balance of power, increased accountability and greater capacity of the
Board for independent decision making, the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and the CEO
are held by separate individuals.
The non-executive independent Chairman is responsible for leading the Board and ensuring that the
Board is effective on all aspects of its role. The CEO has full executive responsibilities over the
business directions and operational decisions of CMT and is responsible for implementing CMTs
strategies and policies and for conducting CMTs business. The Chairman and the CEO are not
immediate family members. The separation of the roles of the Chairman and the CEO and the
resulting clarity of roles provide a healthy professional relationship between the Board and
Management and facilitate robust deliberations on the business activities of CMT and the exchange
of ideas and views to help shape the strategic process.
The Chairman is responsible for leadership of the Board and for creating the conditions for overall
Board, Board Committee and individual Director effectiveness. This includes setting the agenda of
the Board in consultation with the CEO and promoting constructive engagement among the Directors
as well as between the Board and the CEO on strategic issues.
The Chairman plays a significant leadership role by providing clear oversight, advice and guidance
to the CEO and Management on strategies and business operations.
Board Membership
Principle 4:
There should be a formal and transparent process for the appointment and re-appointment of
directors to the Board.
The Manager does not have a nominating committee. In view that the Manager is a dedicated
manager to only CMT, and taking into account the activities and scale of business of CMT, the limited
number of independent director appointment and the fact that independent directors constitute more
than half of the Board of the Manager, the Board considers that the objectives of a nominating
committee may be achieved by the full Board (of which comprises a majority of independent
Directors) undertaking the responsibilities of a nominating committee. Therefore, the Board performs
the functions that such a committee would otherwise perform, namely, it administers nominations to
the Board, reviews the structure, size and composition of the Board, and reviews the independence
of Board members. Directors of the Manager are not subject to periodic retirement by rotation.
Under the Code, the composition of the Board, including the selection of candidates for new
appointments to the Board as part of the Boards renewal process, is determined using the following
principles:
(a)
the Board should comprise Directors with a broad range of commercial experience, including
expertise in funds management, the property industry, banking and legal fields; and
(b) at least one-third of the Board should comprise independent Directors. Where, amongst other
things, the Chairman of the Board is not an independent Director, at least half of the Board
should comprise independent Directors.
Renewal or replacement of Board members do not necessarily reflect their contributions to date, but
may be driven by the need to position and shape the Board in line with the evolving needs of CMT
and its business.
The selection of candidates is evaluated taking into account various factors including the current and
mid-term needs and goals of CMT, as well as the relevant expertise of the candidates and their
potential contributions. Candidates may be put forward or sought through contacts and
recommendations.
Guideline 4.4 of the Code recommends that the Board determine the maximum number of listed
companies board representations which any director may hold and disclose this in the annual report.
The Board is of the view that, the limit on the number of listed company directorships that an
individual may hold should be considered on a case-by-case basis, as a persons available time and
attention may be affected by many different factors such as whether they are in full-time employment
and their other responsibilities. A Director with multiple directorships is expected to ensure that
sufficient attention is given to the affairs of the Manager in managing the assets and liabilities of CMT
for the benefit of Unitholders. The Board believes that each individual Director is best placed to
determine and ensure that he is able to devote sufficient time and attention to discharge his duties
and responsibilities as a Director of the Manager, bearing in mind his other commitments. In
considering the nomination of Directors for appointment, the Board will take into account, amongst
other things, the competing time commitments faced by Directors with multiple Board memberships.
All Directors had confirmed that notwithstanding the number of their individual listed company board
representations and other principal commitments, which the Directors held, they were able to devote
sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Manager in managing the assets and liabilities of CMT
for the benefit of Unitholders. The Board is of the view that the current commitments of each of its
Directors are reasonable and each of the Directors is able to and has been adequately carrying out
his duties.
Board Performance
Principle 5:
There should be a formal annual assessment of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and
its board committees and the contribution by each director to the effectiveness of the Board.
The Manager believes that Board performance is ultimately reflected in the long-term performance
of CMT.
The Board strives to ensure that there is an optimal blend in the Board of background, experience
and knowledge in business, finance and management skills critical to CMTs business and that each
Director could bring to the Board an independent and objective perspective to enable balanced and
well-considered decisions to be made in the interests of CMT. Contributions by an individual Board
Corporate Governance
member can also take other forms, including providing objective perspectives on issues, facilitating
business opportunities and strategic relationships, and accessibility by Management outside of a
formal environment of Board and/or Board Committees meetings.
Reviews of Board performance are carried out on an informal basis. The Manager believes that
collective Board performance and that of individual Board members are better reflected in, and
evidenced by, its and their proper guidance, diligent oversight and able leadership, and the support
that it lends to Management in steering CMT in the appropriate direction, and the long-term
performance of CMT whether under favourable or challenging market conditions. The Board was also
able to assess the Board Committees through their regular reports to the Board on their activities.
Access to Information
Principle 6:
In order to fulfil their responsibilities, directors should be provided with complete, adequate
and timely information prior to board meetings and on an on-going basis so as to enable them
to make informed decisions to discharge their duties and responsibilities.
The Manager recognises the importance of providing the Board with timely, adequate and relevant
information prior to Board meetings, and as and when the need arises.
As a general rule, Board papers are sent to Board members at least five working days prior to the
Board meeting to allow the members to prepare for the Board meetings and to enable the discussions
to focus on questions that the members may have. However, sensitive matters may be tabled at the
meeting itself or discussed without any papers being distributed.
In line with the Managers commitment to limit paper wastage and reduce its carbon footprint, the
Manager no longer provides printed copy of Board papers and Directors are instead provided with
tablet devices to enable them to access and read Board and Board Committee papers prior to and
at meetings. This initiative also enhances information security as the papers are downloaded to the
tablet devices through an encrypted channel.
In addition to providing timely, adequate and relevant information to the Board on Board affairs and
issues requiring the Boards decision, Management also provides on-going reports relating to the
operational and financial performance of the Manager, such as monthly management reports.
Where appropriate, informal meetings are also held for Management to brief Directors on prospective
deals and potential developments in the early stages before formal Board approval is sought.
The Board has separate and independent access to Management including the company secretary
of the Manager (Company Secretary) at all times. The Company Secretary attends to corporate
secretarial administration matters and is the corporate governance advisor on corporate matters to
the Board and Management. The Company Secretary attends Board meetings. The Board, whether
as individual Directors or as a group, is also entitled to have access to independent professional
advice where required, at the Managers expense.
The AC also meets the internal auditors and external auditors separately at least once a year, without
the presence of the CEO and Management and has unfettered access to any information that it may
require.
Corporate Governance
Non-executive Directors (save for Directors who are employees of CL or CapitaMalls Asia Limited
(CMA)) receive Directors fees which are payable by way of cash and units in CMT (Units). The
Manager believes that the payment of a portion of the Directors fees in Units will serve to align the
interests of such Directors with that of Unitholders and CMTs long-term growth and value.

Leading with Confidence | 43
Corporate Governance
The Manager adopts an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Framework which sets out the required
environmental and organisational components for managing risk in an integrated, systematic and
consistent manner. The ERM Framework and related policies are reviewed annually.
The Manager consistently seeks to improve and strengthen its ERM Framework. As part of the ERM
Framework, Management, amongst other things, undertakes and performs a Risk and Control
Self-Assessment (RCSA) process. As a result of the RCSA process, the Manager produces and
maintains a risk register which identifies the material risks CMT Group faces and the corresponding
internal controls it has in place to manage or mitigate those risks. The material risks are reviewed
annually by the AC and the Board. The AC also reviews the approach of identifying and assessing
risks and internal controls in the risk register. The system of risk management and internal controls
is reviewed and, where appropriate, refined regularly by Management, the AC and the Board.
The Manager has established an approach towards how risk appetite is defined, monitored and
reviewed for CMT Group. Approved by the Board, the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), addresses the
management of material risks faced by CMT Group. Alignment of CMT Groups risk profile to the RAS
is achieved through various communication and monitoring mechanisms (including key performance
indicators set for Management) put in place across the various functions within the Manager.
More information on CMTs ERM Framework can be found in the Enterprise Risk Management section
on pages 54 to 57 of the Annual Report.
Internal auditors and external auditors conduct audits that involve testing the effectiveness of the
material internal controls for CMT Group addressing financial, operational, compliance and
information technology risks. This includes testing, where practical, material internal controls in areas
managed by external service providers. Any material non-compliance or lapses in internal controls
together with corrective measures recommended by the internal auditors and external auditors are
reported to and reviewed by the AC. The adequacy and effectiveness of the measures taken by the
Manager in response to the recommendations made by the internal auditors and external auditors are
also reviewed by the AC.
The Board has received assurance from the CEO and the Head, Finance of the Manager that:
(a)
the financial records for CMT Group have been properly maintained and the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2014 give a true and fair view of CMT Groups operations and
finances; and
(b) the system of risk management and internal controls in place for CMT Group is adequate and
effective in addressing the material risks faced by CMT Group in its current business
environment including material financial, operational, compliance and information technology
risks. The CEO and the Head, Finance of the Manager have obtained similar assurance from the
respective risk and control owners.
In addition, in FY 2014, the Board has received quarterly certification by Management on the integrity
of financial reporting and the Board has provided a negative assurance confirmation to Unitholders
as required by the Listing Manual.
Based on the ERM Framework established and the reviews conducted by Management and both the
internal auditors and external auditors, as well as the assurance from the CEO and the Head, Finance
of the Manager, the Board concurs with the recommendation of the AC and is of the opinion, that the
system of risk management and internal controls addressing material financial, operational,
compliance and information technology risks established by the Manager is adequate and effective
to meet the needs of CMT Group in its current business environment as at 31 December 2014.
The Board notes that the system of risk management and internal controls established by the
Manager provides reasonable assurance, that CMT Group, as it strives to achieve its business
objectives, will not be significantly affected by any event that can be reasonably foreseen or
anticipated. However, the Board also notes that no system of risk management and internal controls
can provide absolute assurance in this regard, or absolute assurance against poor judgement in
decision making, human error, losses, fraud or other irregularities.
Audit Committee
Principle 12:
The Board should establish an Audit Committee with written terms of reference which clearly
set out its authority and duties.
All the members of the AC, including the Chairman of the AC, are non-executive independent
Directors. The members bring with them invaluable recent and relevant managerial and professional
expertise in accounting and related financial management domains.
The AC has explicit authority to investigate any matter within its terms of reference. Management is
required to provide the fullest co-operation in providing information and resources, and in
implementing or carrying out all requests made by the AC. The AC has direct access to the internal
auditors and external auditors and full discretion to invite any Director or executive officer to attend
its meetings. Similarly, both the internal auditors and external auditors are given unrestricted access
to the AC.
The AC is guided by its terms of reference, in particular, the AC:
(a)
monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of the Managers system of risk management and
internal controls (including financial, operational, compliance and information technology
controls and risk management policies and systems) through reviewing written reports from the
internal auditors and external auditors to ensure that where deficiencies in internal controls have
been identified, appropriate and prompt remedial action is taken by Management;
(b) reviews the significant financial reporting issues and judgements so as to ensure the integrity of
the financial statements of CMT Group and any announcements relating to CMT Groups
financial performance;
(c)
(d) reviews the scope and results of the external audit and also assesses the cost effectiveness, the
independence and objectivity of the external auditors;
(e)
Corporate Governance
(f)
reviews and approves processes to regulate transactions involving an Interested Person (as
defined in Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual) and/or Interested Party (as defined in the Property
Funds Appendix) (each, an Interested Person) and CMT and/or its subsidiaries (Interested
Person Transactions), in particular, ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Listing
Manual and the Property Funds Appendix relating to Interested Person Transactions; and
(g) reviews the policy and arrangements by which employees of the Manager and any other persons
may, in confidence, report suspected fraud or irregularity or suspected infringement of any laws
or regulations or rules or, raise concerns about possible improprieties in matters of financial
reporting or other matters with a view to ensuring that arrangements are in place for such
concerns to be raised and independently investigated, and for appropriate follow-up action to
be taken.
The AC has reviewed the nature and extent of non-audit services provided by the external auditors
during FY 2014 and the fees paid for such services. The AC is satisfied that the independence of the
external auditors has not been impaired by the provision of those services. The external auditors
have also provided confirmation of their independence to the AC. The aggregate amount of fees paid
and payable to the external auditors for FY 2014 was approximately S$358,700 of which audit fees
amounted to approximately S$343,200 and non-audit fees amounted to approximately S$15,500.
In FY 2014, the AC also met with the internal auditors and external auditors, without Managements
presence, to discuss the reasonableness of the financial reporting process, the system of internal
controls, and the significant comments and recommendations by the auditors. Where relevant, the
AC makes reference to the best practices and guidance in the Guidebook for Audit Committees in
Singapore and the practice directions issued from time to time in relation to Financial Reporting
Surveillance Programme administered by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of
Singapore.
The Manager confirms, on behalf of CMT, that CMT complies with Rule 712 and Rule 715 of the Listing
Manual.
Internal Audit
Principle 13:
The company should establish an effective internal audit function that is adequately resourced
and independent of the activities it audits.
The Manager has in place an internal audit function supported by CLs Internal Audit Department (CL
IA) which reports directly to the AC and administratively to the CEO. CL IA plans its internal audit
schedules in consultation with, but independently of, Management and its plan is submitted to the AC
for approval prior to the beginning of each year. The AC also meets with CL IA at least once a year
without the presence of Management. CL IA has unfettered access to the Managers documents,
records, properties and employees, including access to the AC.
CL IA is a corporate member of the Singapore branch of the Institute of Internal Auditors Inc. (IIA),
which has its headquarters in the USA. CL IA subscribes to, and is guided by, the International
Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) developed by the IIA and has
incorporated these Standards into its audit practices.
To ensure that internal audits are performed by competent professionals, CL IA recruits and employs
suitably qualified professional staff with the requisite skill sets and experience.
CL IA identifies and provides training and development opportunities for its staff to ensure their
technical knowledge and skill sets remain current and relevant.
(D) SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Shareholder Rights
Principle 14:
Companies should treat all shareholders fairly and equitably, and should recognise, protect
and facilitate the exercise of shareholders rights, and continually review and update such
governance arrangements.
The Manager is committed to treating all Unitholders fairly and equitably and keeping all Unitholders,
other stakeholders and analysts informed of the performance and changes in CMT or its business
which would be likely to materially affect the price or value of Units, on a timely and consistent basis,
so as to assist Unitholders and investors in their investment decisions.
The Manager provides accurate and timely disclosure of material information on the SGXNet.
All Unitholders are entitled to attend general meetings and are accorded the opportunity to
participate effectively and vote at general meetings. All Unitholders are also informed of the rules,
including voting procedures, governing such meetings.
Communication with Shareholders
Principle 15:
Companies should actively engage their shareholders and put in place an investor relations
policy to promote regular, effective and fair communication with shareholders.
The Manager has in place the Investor Relations and Corporate Communications team which
facilitates effective communication with Unitholders, analysts, fund managers and the media.
The Manager actively engages with Unitholders and has put in place a Unitholders Communication
and Investor Relations Policy (Policy) to promote regular, effective and fair communication with
Unitholders. The Policy is uploaded on CMTs website at www.capitamall.com.
The Board has established the CDC which assists the Board in the discharge of its function to meet
the legal and regulatory obligations arising under the laws and regulations of Singapore relating to
and to conform to best practices in the corporate disclosure and compliance process.
More information on the Managers investor and media relations with Unitholders can be found in the
Investor & Media Relations section on pages 93 to 95 of the Annual Report and the Policy which is
available on CMTs website.
CMT is included in the Straits Times Index (STI), the primary Singapore equity market barometer. It
is also included in other key indices which are widely tracked and referred to by international fund
managers as performance benchmarks in the selection and monitoring of investments.
CMTs distribution policy is to distribute at least 90.0% of its taxable income (other than gains from
the sale of real estate properties by CMT which are determined to be trading gains), with the actual
level of distribution to be determined at the Managers discretion.
Corporate Governance
Conduct of Shareholder Meetings
Principle 16:
Companies should encourage greater shareholder participation at general meetings of
shareholders, and allow shareholders the opportunity to communicate their views on various
matters affecting the company.
The Manager supports the principle of encouraging Unitholders participation and voting at general
meetings. Unitholders receive a CD containing the CMT Annual Report (printed copies are available
upon request) and notice of the annual general meeting. As and when an extraordinary general
meeting is to be held, Unitholders will receive a copy of the circular which contains details of the
matters to be proposed for Unitholders consideration and approval. Notices of the general meetings
are also advertised in the press and issued via SGXNet.
At general meetings, Unitholders are encouraged to communicate their views on and discuss with the
Board and the Manager matters affecting CMT. Representatives of the Trustee, Directors (including
the respective Chairpersons of the Board and the AC), the Managers senior management and the
external auditors, would usually be present at general meetings.
To safeguard Unitholders interests and rights, a separate resolution is proposed for each
substantially separate issue at general meetings. To ensure transparency in the voting process and
better reflect Unitholders interest, the Manager conducts poll voting for Unitholders/proxies present
at the meeting for all the resolutions proposed at the general meetings. The total number of votes cast
for or against the resolutions and the respective percentages are announced after the general
meetings via SGXNet. Minutes of the general meetings are taken and are available to Unitholders for
their inspection upon request.
Unitholders also have the opportunity to communicate their views and discuss with the Board and
Management matters affecting CMT after the general meetings.
(E) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Additional Committees
Apart from the AC and CDC, the Board has also established the EC and IC.
The EC oversees the day-to-day activities of the Manager and that of CMT, on behalf of the Board.
The EC is guided by its terms of reference, in particular, the EC:
(a)
approves specific budgets for capital expenditure on development projects, acquisitions and
enhancements/upgrading of properties within its approved financial limits;
The members of the EC meet informally during the course of the year.
The IC is guided by its terms of reference, in particular, the IC reviews proposals on and, where it
considers appropriate, approve, proposals on investments and divestments of CMT within the
authorities/limits approved from time to time by the Board.

Corporate Governance
The Manager maintains a register to record all Interested Person Transactions which are entered into
by CMT (and the basis on which they are entered into, including the quotations obtained to support
such basis). All Interested Person Transactions are subject to regular periodic reviews by the AC,
which in turn obtains advice from CL IA, to ascertain that the guidelines and procedures established
to monitor Interested Person Transactions, including the relevant provisions of the Listing Manual and
the Property Funds Appendix, as well as any other guidelines which may from time to time be
prescribed by the SGX-ST, the MAS or other relevant authorities, have been complied with. The
review includes an examination of the nature of the transaction and its supporting documents or such
other information deemed necessary by the AC. If a member of the AC has an interest in a
transaction, he is to abstain from participating in the review and approval process in relation to that
transaction. In addition, the Trustee also reviews such audit reports to ascertain that the Listing
Manual and the Property Funds Appendix have been complied with.
Details of all Interested Person Transactions (equal to or exceeding S$100,000 each in value) entered
into by CMT during the FY 2014 are disclosed on pages 214 to 215 of the Annual Report.
Dealing with Conflicts of Interest
The following principles and procedures have been established to deal with potential conflicts of
interest which the Manager (including its Directors, executive officers and employees) may
encounter in managing CMT:
(a)
the Manager is a dedicated manager to CMT and will not manage any other REIT or be involved
in any other real property business;
(b) all resolutions at meetings of the Board in relation to matters concerning CMT must be decided
by a majority vote of the Directors, including at least one non-executive independent Director;
(c)
in respect of matters in which CL and/or its subsidiaries have an interest, whether direct or
indirect, any nominees appointed by CL and/or its subsidiaries to the Board will abstain from
voting. In such matters, the quorum must comprise a majority of the non-executive independent
Directors and shall exclude such nominee Directors of CL and/or its subsidiaries;
(d) in respect of matters in which a Director or his associates have an interest, whether direct or
indirect, such interested Director will abstain from voting. In such matters, the quorum must
comprise a majority of the Directors and shall exclude such interested Director(s);
(e)
if the Manager is required to decide whether or not to take any action against any person in
relation to any breach of any agreement entered into by the Trustee for and on behalf of CMT with
an affiliate of the Manager, the Manager is obliged to consult with a reputable law firm
(acceptable to the Trustee) which shall provide legal advice on the matter. If the said law firm
is of the opinion that the Trustee, on behalf of CMT, has a prima facie case against the party
allegedly in breach under such agreement, the Manager is obliged to pursue the appropriate
remedies under such agreement; and
(f)
Additionally, the Trustee has been granted a right of first refusal by CMA to purchase all retail
income-producing properties located in Singapore with certain specified characteristics which may
in the future be identified and targeted for acquisition by CMA or any of its subsidiaries.
Under the Trust Deed, in respect of voting rights where the Manager would face a conflict between
its own interests and that of Unitholders, the Manager shall cause such voting rights to be exercised
according to the discretion of the Trustee.
Dealings in Securities
The Manager has devised and adopted a securities dealing policy for the Managers officers and
employees which applies the best practices recommendations in the Listing Manual. To this end, the
Manager has issued guidelines to its Directors and employees as well as certain relevant executives
of the CL group, which sets out prohibitions against dealings in CMT Groups securities (i) while in
possession of material unpublished price sensitive information, (ii) during two weeks before the
release of CMTs results for the first three quarters, and (iii) during one month before the release of
CMTs full-year results. The Manager will also not deal in CMT Groups securities during the same
period.
Under these guidelines, all Directors and employees of the Manager as well as certain relevant
executives of the CL group are directed to refrain from dealing in CMT Groups securities on
short-term considerations. They are also regularly reminded of laws against insider trading.
(F) CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
The Manager adheres to an ethics and code of business conduct policy which deals with issues such
as confidentiality, conduct and work discipline, corporate gifts and concessionary offers. Clear
policies and guidelines on how to handle workplace harassment and grievances are also in place.
The policies and guidelines are published on CLs intranet which is accessible by all employees of
the Manager.
The policies that the Manager has implemented aim to help to detect and prevent occupational fraud
in mainly three ways.
First, the Manager offers fair compensation packages, based on practices of pay-for-performance
and promotion based on merit to its employees. The Manager also provides various healthcare
subsidies and financial assistance schemes to alleviate the common financial pressures its
employees face.
Second, clearly documented policies and work procedures incorporate internal controls which
ensure that adequate checks and balances are in place. Periodic audits are also conducted to
evaluate the efficacy of these internal controls.
Finally, the Manager seeks to build and maintain the right organisational culture through its core
values, educating its employees on good business conduct and ethical values.
Bribery and Corruption Prevention Policy
The Manager adopts a strong stance against bribery and corruption. In addition to clear guidelines
and procedures for the giving and receipt of corporate gifts and concessionary offers, all employees
of the Manager are required to make a declaration on an annual basis where they pledge to uphold
the Managers core values and not to engage in any corrupt or unethical practices. Such an initiative
aims to serve as a reminder to all employees to maintain the highest standards of integrity in their
work and business dealings.
The Managers zero tolerance policy towards bribery and corruption extends to its business dealings
with third parties. Pursuant to such policy, the Manager requires that certain agreements incorporate
anti-bribery and anti-corruption provisions.
Leading with Confidence | 51
Corporate Governance
Whistle-Blowing Policy
A whistle-blowing policy and other procedures are put in place to provide employees of the Manager
and parties who have dealings with the Manager with well defined, accessible and trusted channels
to report suspected fraud, corruption, dishonest practices or other improprieties in the workplace,
and for the independent investigation of any reported incidents and appropriate follow up action. The
objective of the whistle-blowing policy is to encourage the reporting of such matters that employees
or external parties making any reports in good faith will be able to do so with the confidence that they
will be treated fairly, and to the extent possible, be protected from reprisal.
Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Measures
As a holder of a Capital Markets Services licence issued by the MAS, the Manager abides by the
MAS guidelines on the prevention of money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism.
Under these guidelines, the main obligations of the Manager are:
(a)
record keeping;
staff training.
The Manager has developed and implemented a policy on the prevention of money laundering and
terrorist financing and is alert at all times to suspicious transactions. Where there is a suspicion of
money laundering or terrorist financing, the Manager performs due diligence checks on its
counterparties in order to ensure that it does not enter into business transactions with terrorist
suspects or other high risk persons or entities. Suspicious transactions are also reported to the
Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office of the Commercial Affairs Department.
Under this policy, the Manager must retain all relevant records or documents relating to business
relations with its customers or transactions entered into for a period of at least five years following the
termination of such business relations or the completion of such transactions.
All prospective employees of the Manager are also screened against various lists of terrorist
suspects issued by the MAS. Periodic training is provided by the Manager to its Directors and
employees to ensure that they are updated and aware of applicable anti-money laundering and
terrorist financing regulations, the prevailing techniques and trends in money laundering and terrorist
financing and the measures adopted by the Manager to combat money laundering and terrorist
financing.

CMT Groups ERM Framework sets out the required environmental and organisational components
which enable CMT Group to manage risks in an integrated, systematic and consistent manner. The
ERM Framework and related risk management policies are reviewed annually and are periodically
validated by external ERM consultants.
A robust internal control system as well as an effective and independent review and audit process
are the twin pillars that underpin CMT Groups ERM Framework. The line management is responsible
for the design and implementation of effective internal controls using a risk-based approach while the
outsourced Internal Audit team from CapitaLand reviews such design and implementation to provide
reasonable assurance to the AC on the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system.
Annually, the Manager facilitates and coordinates CMTs Group-wide Risk and Control SelfAssessment (RCSA) exercise that requires respective risk and control owners to proactively identify,
assess and document material risks as well as the corresponding key controls and mitigating
measures needed to address them. Material risks and their associated controls are reviewed by the
Manager before they are presented to the AC and the Board.
Awareness of and preparedness for potential risks affecting CMT Groups business continuity help
the Manager minimise the impact of disruption to CMT Groups business operations. The Manager
has in place a business continuity plan. In addition, the outsourced Information Technology (IT) team
from CapitaLand has also put in place a disaster recovery strategy, which is reviewed and tested on
an annual basis.
The Manager believes that having the right risk culture and people with the right attitude, values and
knowledge are fundamental to CMT Groups success. Therefore, the Manager works closely with
CapitaLands Risk Assessment Group to proactively enhance risk management knowledge within
CMT Group and promote a culture of risk awareness.
Managing Material Risks
The Manager undertakes an iterative and comprehensive approach in identifying, managing,
monitoring and reporting of material risks across CMT Group. Such material risks include:
Competition Risk
Increased competition from online businesses and new retail space supply in Singapore are likely to
affect shopper traffic and tenants sales. CMT positions itself as the preferred landlord through
employing strategies such as proactive tenant engagement as well as implementing customercentric initiatives and shopper loyalty programmes to generate sustainable demand for our retail
space.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the potential volatility in earnings caused by tenants failure to fulfill their contractual
lease payment obligations, as and when they fall due. There is a stringent collection policy in place
to ensure that credit risk is minimised. In addition to the requirement for upfront payment of security
deposit of an amount typically equivalent to three months rent, the Manager also establishes vigilant
debt monitoring and collection procedures.
Human Capital Risk
Competition for talent within the real estate industry remains intense. The Manager and the property
manager of CMT, CapitaLand Retail Management Pte Ltd (Property Manager), have a competitive
compensation framework designed to attract, retain and motivate talent, as well as to foster a
performance-oriented culture. The Manager and the Property Manager seek to build a continual
Operations Review
LEASE RENEWALS AND NEW LEASES
The retention rate of our tenants in 2014 was 79.4%, reflecting our strong relationship with our tenants
as well as our proactive lease management to constantly refresh the tenant mix in each property to
remain relevant and attractive to our shoppers. On a portfolio basis, rental rates for lease renewals
and new leases in 2014 saw an average increase of 6.1% against preceding rental rates at the end
of typical three-year leases.

month basis, decreased by 1.9% in 2014 compared to the preceding year. Although part of CMTs
rental structure comprises gross turnover rent which is pegged to tenants sales, gross turnover rent
made up only a small percentage of CMTs gross revenue. It is typically about 5.0%, thus ensuring
the stability of CMTs gross revenue.

Operations Review
In second half of 2014, JCube reconfigured Level 2 to create J.Avenue a trendy cluster of 85 retail
shops offering chic and affordable merchandise and featuring a street shopping ambience. This will
enhance its position as a leisure and entertainment focused mall. The retail concepts at J.Avenue will
be refreshed throughout the year so that shoppers will continue to discover something new every
season. In addition, part of Basement 1 had also been reconfigured to increase the number of kiosks
to provide more F&B options.
Bukit Panjang Plaza commenced its AEI in September 2014. A new two-storey F&B block was created
on Level 2, where the existing roof garden is located. The roof garden will be relocated to Level 4 next
to the public library and a new childcare centre, to create a new community and recreational zone.
The mall will also be rejuvenated through upgrading of the existing escalators, replacement of
skylight and rejuvenation of the main entrance.
We have also fully completed the AEI works at Bugis Junction in September 2014. This involved
revision of the lease lines at Basement 1 to improve line-of-sight to and from the escalators of the
Bugis MRT Station, recovery of anchor space to convert into new specialty shops and straightening
of corridors at levels 2 and 3 to improve visibility. The mall now boasts a wider selection of
merchandise and an enhanced shopping experience.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, an additional space for a childcare centre was created using the
community/sports facilities scheme at Sembawang Shopping Centre. With the opening of the new
childcare centre in January 2015, the malls positioning as a family mall was further strengthened. In
addition, reconfiguration works at Block A in Clarke Quay to introduce new F&B and entertainment
concepts are underway. This will reinforce Clarke Quays attractiveness as a vibrant place to visit.

As a result of the higher gross revenue, net property income (NPI) of S$448.4 million was S$9.7
million or 2.2% higher than S$438.7 million for FY 2013. This was mainly due to the completion of AEIs

DISTRIBUTIONS
Distribution for FY 2014 was S$375.3 million, an increase of S$19.1 million or 5.4% as compared to
FY 2013. Distribution per unit (DPU) for FY 2014 is 10.84 cents (which includes other gain distribution
of 0.12 cents); this is 5.6% higher than 10.27 cents for FY 2013. The increase was mainly attributed
to the two phases of AEIs at BJ which were completed in October 2013 and September 2014
respectively, strong operating performance from the other properties and the release of S$4.5 million,
as one-off other gain distribution, relating to the profit arising from the sale of office strata units in
Westgate Tower.
In 2014, CMT received partial distribution of S$30.0 million from Infinity Office Trust (IOT) relating to
the profit from the sale of office strata units in Westgate Tower. S$4.5 million has been released as
one-off other gain distribution while the balance of S$25.5 million has been retained for general
corporate and working capital purposes. In addition to the abovementioned, CMT had also retained
capital distribution and tax-exempt income of S$11.4 million received from CapitaRetail China Trust
for general corporate and working capital purposes.

ASSETS
As at 31 December 2014, the total assets for CMT and its subsidiaries (CMT Group) were S$9,858.3
million, compared with S$9,220.0 million as at 31 December 2013. The increase of S$638.3 million
was mainly due to the revaluation surplus of S$162.0 million, capital expenditure of S$72.0 million,
increase in investment in joint ventures of S$44.2 million mainly due to sale of office strata units in
Westgate Tower by IOT as well as the increase in cash and cash equivalents of S$299.7 million.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to the proceeds from the issuance of 5.0
billion floating rate notes and HK$650.0 million fixed rate notes which were swapped into Singapore
dollar fixed rate notes totalling S$170.3 million, S$300.0 million fixed rate notes issued under the
S$2.5 billion unsecured Multicurrency Medium Term Note Programme (MTN Programme) during the
year as well as the proceeds from the issuance of S$350.0 million of bonds under the S$2.5 billion
retail bond programme.
This was offset by the redemption of the S$350.0 million 2.125% convertible bonds due 2014 upon
its maturity and the repayment of the S$150.0 million fixed rate notes under the MTN Programme.

compared with S$829.9 million as at 31 December 2013. The higher quantum was mainly due to the
Medium Term Notes that were raised ahead of refinancing.
As at 27 January 2015, out of the S$245.7 million net proceeds from the private placement in
November 2011 (Private Placement), S$178.0 million of the net proceeds (which is equivalent to
72.4% and 71.2% of the net proceeds and gross proceeds of the Private Placement, respectively)
from the Private Placement has been used to pay for certain committed capital expenditure and asset
enhancement initiatives of the portfolio of properties of CMT. Such use is in accordance with the
percentage of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement allocated to such use.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended
Accounting Practice (RAP) 7 Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts issued by the Institute of
Singapore Chartered Accountants, the applicable requirements of the Code on Collective Investment
Schemes issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the provisions of the Trust Deed. RAP
7 requires that accounting policies adopted generally comply with the principles relating to
recognition and measurement of the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS).
From 1 January 2014, as a result of FRS 111 Joint Arrangements, CMT Group has changed its
accounting policy for its interests in joint arrangements. Accordingly, CMT Group has reclassified its
joint arrangements as joint ventures and account for these joint ventures using the equity method.
Based on a report by EIU: Business Environment Rankings, Which country is best to do business in?
INFLATION
The inflation outlook remains relatively benign. This reflects a number of factors including declining
oil prices, policies aimed at limiting property speculation, and general downward pressure on prices
worldwide. Concerns about the risk of deflation have caused the Monetary Authority of Singapore
(MAS) to announce its intention to intervene in currency markets to slow the long-term appreciation
of the Singapore dollar, thus limiting the deflationary effect of cheaper imports. Notwithstanding the
intervention of the MAS, we still expect inflation to average around 1.7% per annum over the
2015-2019 forecast period, with Retail Price Index trending slightly lower at around 1.0%. Inflation in
the next 12 months is likely to represent the bottom of the inflation cycle at just under 1.0%.
POPULATION
Low population growth, and the broader aging of the population, is a significant issue faced by
Singapore. Singapores Government is acutely aware of this, and is implementing a series of
measures to counteract it, including incentives for having children and plans to increase childcare
places. International experience has shown that these policies can work 10 years ago similar
policies were the forbearer of a significant increase in the fertility rate in Australia.
At the same time, Singapores Government needs to balance demands from residents of less inward
migration. In the 2011 election, immigration was a much debated issue. The release of a Government
White Paper in early-2013 calling for high levels of immigration resulted in protests. Many locals are
concerned about the loss of jobs to foreign workers.
The current population is estimated at around 5.47 million (as at June 2014), of which approximately
29.2% are non-residents. How the politics of immigration reform plays out in the next few years is
subject to some conjecture. Singapores Government has recently been adopting a more limiting
approach to immigration, with the aim of driving wage and productivity growth. Whilst wages have
increased, productivity growth has lagged behind, raising pressure on business operating costs. It
remains to be seen whether the Singapores Government will continue to constrain immigration, or
whether it will accede to pressure to open up again.
Taking these considerations into account, we estimate that growth in the non-resident population will
average around 3.2% (equivalent to 54,000 people) per annum over the next five years. This
compares with average non-resident population growth of 5.4% (equivalent to 72,000 people) per
annum over the past five years. The resident population is likely to grow slower than the non-resident
population, and at a more stable rate. We estimate that it will grow at 0.6% (equivalent to 24,000
people) per annum over the next five years, in line with recent trends. As a result, total population
growth is forecast at 1.4% (equivalent to 78,000 people) per annum, reaching 5.87 million by 2019.
TOURISM
Along with a broader refocusing of the economy towards services, Singapores Government remains
intent on growing the number of tourists coming to the city. The Asian tourism market continues to
grow strongly, notwithstanding the sometimes lumpy nature of such growth. Singapore is well-located
to remain a major tourism hub and, in the longer-term, will benefit strongly from growing incomes and
travel habits regionally, particularly in China.
Following a decade of very strong growth in tourism numbers, it was expected that 2014 would see
the first drop in international visitors (excluding Malaysian day trippers) since the GFC. Between 2009
and 2013, visitor numbers increased by 1.5 million per annum, reaching 15.5 million in 2013. This
picture has now changed, with arrivals in 2014 around 500,000 fewer than those in 2013. There has
been a sharp decline in arrivals from China following the anti-corruption drive and restrictions on

Occupancy rates for 2014 are based on first three quarters of 2014.
Growth in prime retail rent 1 was healthy in 2014, with continued demand from retailers for prime
space. According to CBRE, prime retail rents in the Orchard Road sub-market in particular have
shown solid growth of 2.7% year-on-year. The Suburban sub-market has rebounded from a relatively
flat year in 2013 and registered a moderate growth of 1.3% year-on-year in 2014.
With high levels of occupancy and strong market fundamentals, prime retail rents are expected to
continue to increase across Singapore over the medium to long-term. Both the Orchard Road and
Suburban sub-markets are expected to grow around 2.0-3.0% per annum over the next few years,
thanks in part to an expected rebound in tourism and domestic spending.

From a regulatory standpoint, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) released a consultation
paper in October 2014 with proposals aimed at fostering stronger corporate governance practices,
better aligning the interests of REIT managers and unitholders, as well as providing REITs with more
operational flexibility.
The REIT Association of Singapore (REITAS) which aims to be the representative voice of the S-REIT
industry, was officially launched on 17 November 2014. Since its inception, the association actively
gathered feedback from stakeholders on the MAS consultation paper for greater engagement with
the regulators and has been planning numerous initiatives to promote the industry.
Singapore has established itself as a major Asian hub for real estate investment. In 2014, there were
five new S-REITs and real estate business trusts listed on the Singapore Exchange, with the
introduction of new asset classes with the listing of Keppel DC REIT, which focuses on data centres
100 | CapitaMall Trust Annual Report 2014
and Accordia Golf Trust which focuses on golf courses. IREIT Global, the first S-REIT with a
European-centric investment portfolio was also listed. However, Singapore faces competition from
other regional markets as they are establishing their own REIT and business trust frameworks and will
compete increasingly for listings.
In the United States, there are uncertainties over when and the pace at which the Federal Reserve
will raise the federal funds rate. An increase in the federal funds target rate may influence the
Singapore Government 10-year bond yield and Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) to
increase, and S-REITs may face a corresponding increase in borrowing costs when financing new
acquisitions and refinancing existing debts. To compensate for the higher borrowing costs and
achieve better yields, S-REITs will now have to look at how best to achieve organic growth. In
addition, S-REITs need to re-examine and be more pro-active in their capital management. This would
include scrutinising the hedging policies and debt strategies.
In the 2015 Budget delivered on 23 February 2015, the Singapore Government announced the
following extension or enhancement to the tax concessions for listed REITs:
that the reduced withholding tax of 10.0% on distributions of taxable income to qualifying
non-tax resident non-individual unitholders will continue to apply to distributions made from
1 April 2015 to 31 March 2020 (both dates inclusive);
that the tax exemption on qualifying foreign-sourced income derived from overseas properties
will apply so long as the overseas properties are acquired by a REIT or its wholly-owned
Singapore tax resident subsidiaries on or before 31 March 2020;
that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) concession that allows S-REITs to claim GST incurred on
the setting up of their various tiers of special purpose vehicles (SPVs) that hold overseas
properties, GST incurred by their SPVs on the acquisition and holding of overseas properties,
and GST incurred on qualifying business expenses will continue to apply in respect of GST on
qualifying expenses incurred up to 31 March 2020. In addition, the GST concession will be
enhanced to allow S-REITs to claim GST on business expenses incurred by S-REITs from 1 April
2015 to 31 March 2020 to set up SPVs that are used solely to raise funds for the S-REITs.
The stamp duty remission on the transfer of a Singapore immovable property to a REIT or the transfer
of 100.0% of the issued share capital of a Singapore-incorporated company that holds immovable
properties situated outside Singapore to a REIT will be allowed to lapse after 31 March 2015. Stamp
duty at approximately 3.0% on the consideration or the market value, whichever is the higher, will
have to be paid by a REIT on any contract, agreement or instrument executed on or after 1 April 2015
for the acquisition of immovable property in Singapore.
LOOKING FORWARD
The framework for S-REITs has been continually refined since the public listing of the first S-REIT in
2002. We believe that we will continue to see efforts in strengthening and refining the existing S-REIT
regime as Singapore seeks to stay ahead of the competition.
Sustainability
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are critical to creating a sustainable future for
CMT, our stakeholders and society. By integrating ESG considerations into our operations, we believe
that we can manage our business better and create long-term value for all stakeholders.
Our approach to sustainability incorporates considerations relating to:
Environmental
Social
Governance
Since September 2007, CMT has been a constituent of FTSE4Good Global Index, which was
designed to facilitate investment in companies that meet globally recognised corporate responsibility
standards.
To shape our understanding of the ESG issues that we must address in our everyday business, we
continually keep abreast of developments in our industry and engage our stakeholders. We cultivate
our stakeholder relationships through regular and systematically planned forms of dialogue such as
conferences, workshops, roadshows and surveys and sometimes, through informal ways as well.

ENVIRONMENT
To ensure that our actions in operating CMTs malls are environmentally friendly and that we follow
green practices in the office, we have adopted an Environmental Management System (EMS) which
was certified to the ISO 14001 international standards in 2007. ISO 14001 is an internationally
recognised standard for the environmental management of businesses. We review new or update
existing legal requirements for the EMS every quarter and evaluate compliance annually. In 2014, we
complied fully with the environmental laws and regulations in Singapore and there was no
environmental non-conformance.
As part of the CapitaLand group, we adhere to the groups Green Buildings Guidelines (GBG) which
is an in-house guide developed since 2007 and regularly reviewed to ensure continual improvement.
We strive to implement the GBG at all stages of a development project, from feasibility, design,
procurement and construction to operations.
The GBG includes an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) which is carried out during the
feasibility stage of any development project. The EIA helps to identify any environmental threats or
opportunities related to the project site and its surroundings, including aspects such as air quality,
noise, possible floods, biodiversity, connectivity, heritage and resources. All significant findings of
the EIA and their cost implications have to be tabled as part of the investment project paper
submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. At the procurement stage, in accordance with the
Sustainability
GBG, all main contractors appointed for projects with a gross floor area of at least 2,000 square
metres, have to be ISO 14001 and Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001
certified or they have to implement Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) measures on site to
comply fully with EHS legislations equivalent. The OHSAS 18001 is an internationally recognised
standard for the occupational health and safety management of businesses.
We use an Environmental Tracking System (ETS), developed in-house by CapitaLand, to track the
monthly energy and water usage, carbon dioxide emission and waste generation for CMTs malls.
This ETS is audited annually by CapitaLands Technical Services Unit.
Our long-term energy and water reduction targets (using 2008 as base year) are:
In 2014, we managed to further reduce our energy and water consumptions, as well as carbon
dioxide emissions.

Green Initiatives
All CMTs malls marked Earth Hour by switching off their facade lights and non-essential lighting for
extended hours throughout the night, beginning at 8.30 p.m. on 29 March 2014. This was the seventh
year that we participated in this annual global sustainability movement to promote awareness of
energy conservation.
As part of our effort to reduce waste, Funan DigitaLife Mall launched an e-waste recycling
programme in May 2014 with the support of the National Environment Agency. This recycling
programme allows eco-conscious consumers to dispose their e-waste properly in a central location.
Members of the public can drop off their e-waste, such as computers, printers, mobile phones and
home appliances, at the malls customer service counter during operating hours. The e-waste
collected at the mall will be handled by local e-waste specialist Cimelia Resource Recovery, which
operates a dedicated recycling facility in Tuas that recycles 100.0% of e-waste collected.
Green Awards Achieved To Date
As at 31 December 2014, 11 CMTs malls have garnered Green Mark awards from the Building and
Construction Authority (BCA). The BCA Green Mark was introduced in January 2005. It is a scheme
that assesses the environmental performance and impact of buildings and promotes energy
efficiency, water savings, a healthier indoor environment and waste reduction.

We complied fully with local OHS laws and regulations in 2014. During the year, we reported zero staff
work-related permanent disability or fatality. All the main contractors that we appointed in 2014 were
OHSAS 18001 certified.
In line with CapitaLands policy to select contractors and suppliers who are committed to high
environmental and occupational safety standards, the majority of our vendors and service providers
are certified bizSAFE Level 3 and above.
Sustainability
For CMTs malls, we strive to mitigate key OHS hazards in facilities, operations and contractor
management. For instance, service providers such as cleaning companies need to submit material
safety data sheets to show that materials used are approved by authorities for use in Singapore. At
our corporate office, OHS issues guidelines that include office ergonomics, safety issues and general
employees well-being.
SHOWCASE OF A GREEN BUILDING: BUGIS JUNCTION
Bugis Junction is part of an integrated development situated on Victoria Street and directly above the
Bugis Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Station. It is located in the heart of Singapores civic and cultural
district.
Bugis Junction is a four-storey shopping mall that is connected to a 15-storey office tower. The
integrated development achieved a Green Mark Platinum award from BCA in 2014 for bringing green
and sustainability programmes under one roof, creating awareness and offering intangible benefits
such as enhanced user comfort and setting a benchmark for integrated developments.
Examples of environmental features at the integrated development include:
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Heritage and Arts
Lot One Shoppers Mall hosted The Choa Chu Kang Got Talent Search in May and June 2014. This
talent search provided the platform for residents of Choa Chu Kang to showcase their talents. During
the audition and finals, there were many talents from the neighbourhood.
In June 2014, MediaCorp Oli 96.8FM unveiled its new logo at Bukit Panjang Plaza with a series of
spectacular song and dance stage performances fronted by popular Oli DJs and Vasantham artistes
to the delight of the Indian community.
At Westgate, the National Gallery Singapore commemorated Singapores 50 years of independence
with the Portraits of the People, a travelling community engagement programme, where
Singaporeans are called upon to contribute their personal reflections on the National Pledge and
provide a self-portrait sketch as a unique signature to affirm their response.
Care for Animals
The Heart for Animals event at Lot One Shoppers Mall in June 2014 featured many fun
family-friendly activities. Organised by Republic Polytechnic and supported by the Agri-Food &
Veterinary Authority of Singapore, the event aimed to promote responsible pet ownership and family
bonding in Singapore. Pets such as dogs, cats and rabbits were brought in by various animal welfare
organisations including the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
series of pre-evaluated training courses, via CapitaLands intranet. In addition, we have established
an online learning platform which offers more than 400 programmes, to encourage staff to learn
continually and offer them wider choices in terms of courses.
In 2014, staff clocked an average of 52 training hours per employee, which was well above the
recommended industry guide of 40 hours. Approximately 98.1% of staff attended at least one training
event. We encourage employees to upgrade themselves by attending courses or obtaining
professional qualifications relevant to their work. Employees are granted paid examination leave for
their studies. For full-time staff, examination leave is up to 10 days per calendar year.
Throughout the year, our employees also participated in study visits to overseas malls in China and
Malaysia to network and gain insights to interesting retail concepts outside Singapore.
For members of the senior management team with proven track records and leadership potential, we
partner with CapitaLand Institute of Management and Business (CLIMB) to provide leadership and
management programmes to sharpen their management, leadership and business skills.
ENGAGING OUR PEOPLE
We believe it is important to integrate and engage staff across Singapore through regular
communication. Staff communication sessions by senior management are conducted at least twice
a year. During these staff communication sessions, information on financial results and key business
focus are shared with employees. These sessions include a question and answer session, where
employees can ask questions and management seeks to gather feedback from them.
The CapitaLands intranet is a valuable platform for employees to find out the details of employment
terms, benefits, human resource policies and practices including the whistle-blowing policy, as well
as ethics and code of business conduct policies. CapitaLand also publishes an e-newsletter
iConnect to provide quarterly updates to employees on the latest development within CapitaLand,
including highlights of the staff communication sessions, key strategies and shareholder
engagement efforts.
We regularly organise recreational, team building events and brainstorming workshops to reinforce
organisational cohesiveness as part of our concerted efforts to engage our workforce. In 2014,
activities such as complimentary health screenings, free flu vaccinations and health-related activities
were organised to encourage a well-balanced and healthy lifestyle among employees. Recreational
activities also included a family day and an annual dinner and dance party.
We also supported annual national campaign Eat with Your Family Day in May 2014 by giving
employees time off to leave offices earlier to dine with their families.
To provide our employees with a better work-life balance, we have a flexible work arrangement policy
which permits flexible working hours, working from home or part-time work arrangements.
PROMOTING FAIRNESS AND DIVERSITY
We define our human resource policy on equal opportunities and fair employment practices and all
job applicants are treated fairly regardless of ethnicity, age or gender. As part of the CapitaLand
group, we adhere to the groups policies on non-discriminatory employment practices. CapitaLand
has signed the Employers Pledge for Fair Employment Practices with The Tripartite Alliance for Fair
Employment Practices and also upholds the spirit of international human rights conventions, such as
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation Conventions,
against discrimination in any form and coerced labour.

located in Jurong Gateway, Singapores upcoming largest regional centre, it caters to a catchment
population of over a million.
Westgate is the only mall with direct connections to both the Jurong East MRT Interchange Station
and bus interchange, and amenities such as the Ng Teng Fong General Hospital. The mall offers a
holistic shopping experience with many unique features such as the naturally ventilated The
Courtyard, an array of alfresco dining options and two thematic childrens playgrounds.
Westgate, IMM and JCube together create a 3-in-1 mega mall that brings lifestyle, value and
entertainment experiences to our shoppers.

As at 31 December 2014
On 31 December 2014, independent valuations of Plaza Singapura, Sembawang Shopping Centre,
Lot One Shoppers Mall, Bukit Panjang Plaza, Rivervale Mall, The Atrium@Orchard and Clarke Quay
were undertaken by CBRE Pte Ltd (CBRE) while the independent valuations of Tampines Mall,
Junction 8, Funan DigitaLife Mall, IMM Building, Bugis Junction, JCube and Bugis+ were undertaken
by Knight Frank Pte Ltd (Knight Frank).
On 31 December 2013, the carrying amount of Tampines Mall, IMM Building, JCube, Lot One
Shoppers Mall, Bukit Panjang Plaza and Rivervale Mall were based on independent valuations
undertaken by CBRE while the carrying amount of Junction 8, Funan DigitaLife Mall, Plaza Singapura,
Bugis Junction, Sembawang Shopping Centre, The Atrium@Orchard, Clarke Quay and Bugis+ were

qualifications and experience in the location and category of the properties being valued. The net
change in fair value of the properties has been recognised in the Statement of Total Return.

Generally, the leases contain an initial non-cancellable period of three years. Subsequent renewals
are negotiated with the lessees. Contingent rents recognised in the Statement of Total Return of the

Consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements
of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that
control commences until the date that control ceases.
Associate and joint ventures
Associate is an entity in which the Group has a significant influence, but not control, over
the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group
has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather
than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.
2 to 5 years
Gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of plant and equipment is determined
by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and
equipment and is recognised in the Statement of Total Return.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital
appreciation or both. Investment properties are accounted for as non-current assets and
are stated at initial cost on acquisition and at fair value thereafter. The cost of a purchased
property comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure including
capitalised borrowing costs. Transaction costs shall be included in the initial
measurement. Fair value is determined in accordance with the Trust Deed, which requires
the investment properties to be valued by independent registered valuers in the following
events:
in such manner and frequency required under the CIS Code issued by MAS; and
at least once in each period of 12 months following the acquisition of each parcel of
real estate property.
3.5
Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial assets
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated.
All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss)
are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the
financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets
that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts
and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: loans and receivables.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any
directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and
receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any
impairment losses.
Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables, loans to joint ventures and
cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank deposits.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group initially recognises all other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated
at fair value through profit or loss) on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are
discharged, cancelled or expired.
The Group has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: interest-bearing
borrowings, trade and other payables and security deposits.
Impairment
Non-derivative financial assets
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each
reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A
financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred
after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on
the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency
by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would
not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy. In
addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its
fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
The Group considers evidence of impairment for loans and receivables at both a specific
asset and collective level. All individually significant loans and receivables are assessed
for specific impairment. All individually significant loans and receivables found not to be
specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been
Unitholders funds
Unitholders funds represent the Unitholders residual interest in the Groups net assets
upon termination and is classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of units are recognised as a deduction
from Unitholders funds.
3.9
Revenue recognition
Rental income from operating leases
Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in the Statement of Total
Return on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, except where an alternative
basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased
assets. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental to
be received. Contingent rentals, which include gross turnover rental, are recognised as
income in the accounting period on a receipt basis. No contingent rentals are recognised
if there are uncertainties due to the possible return of amounts received.
Car park income
Car park income is recognised as it accrues on a time apportioned basis.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Investment income
Investment income is recognised when the right to receive distribution income from an
associate or a joint venture is established.
3.10 Expenses
Property operating expenses
Property operating expenses consist of quit rents, property taxes, utilities, property
management fees, property management reimbursements, marketing, maintenance and
other property outgoings in relation to investment properties where such expenses are the
responsibility of the Group.
Property management fees are recognised on an accrual basis based on the applicable
formula, stipulated in Note 1.1.
Asset management fees
Asset management fees are recognised on an accrual basis using the applicable formula,
stipulated in Note 1.2.
Trustees fees
The Trustees fees are recognised on an accrual basis using the applicable formula,
stipulated in Note 1.3.
Leading with Confidence | 163
The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow the
manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle
the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates
that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on
the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority
on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised
simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred
tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

CapitaRetail China Trust
CapitaRetail China Trust (CRCT) is a real estate investment trust constituted in Singapore by
a trust deed dated 23 October 2006 (as amended). CRCT was formally admitted to SGX-ST on
8 December 2006. CRCT is established with the objective of investing on a long term basis in
a diversified portfolio of income producing real estate and primarily for retail purposes and

$198,169,000 (2013: $163,198,000).

Financial instruments for which fair value is equal to the carrying value
These financial instruments include loans to joint ventures, trade and other receivables, cash
and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, security deposits and convertible bonds. The
carrying amounts of these financial instruments are an approximation of their fair values
because they are either short term in nature, effect of discounting is immaterial or reprice
frequently.
OPERATING SEGMENTS
For the purpose of making resource allocation decisions and the assessment of segment
performance, the Groups Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODMs) reviews
internal/management reports of its investment properties. This forms the basis of identifying the
operating segments of the Group under FRS 108 Operating Segments.
Segment revenue comprises mainly income generated from its tenants. Segment net property
income represents the income earned by each segment after allocating property operating
expenses. This is the measure reported to the CODMs for the purpose of assessment of
segment performance. In addition, the CODMs monitor the non-financial assets as well as
financial assets attributable to each segment when assessing segment performance.
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as
those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly
income-earning assets and revenue, interest-bearing borrowings and expenses, related assets
and expenses. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire
segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one year.
Geographical segments
Segment information in respect of the Groups geographical segments is not presented, as the
Groups activities for the year ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 related to

Group expressed as a percentage of daily average net asset value.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On 5 February and 9 February 2015, CMT MTN issued fixed rate notes of HKD1.104 billion due
2027 and floating rate notes of JPY8.6 billion due 2023 through its MTN programme at 2.77% per
annum and 3 months JPY Libor plus 0.25% per annum respectively. Concurrently, CMT MTN
entered into swap transactions to swap the HKD and JPY proceeds into Singapore dollar
proceeds of $192.8 million at 3.25% per annum and $100.0 million at 2.85% per annum
respectively.
The proceeds from the issue of the MTN Notes will be used by CMT MTN and the Group to
refinance the existing borrowings of the Group, to finance the investments comprised in the
Trust, to on-lend to any trust, fund or entity in which the Trust has an interest, to finance any asset
enhancement works initiated in respect of the Trust or such trust, fund or entity, and to finance
the general corporate and working capital purposes in respect of the Group.

For the purposes of Clause 907 of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST, in arriving at this figure, the market price of the units
(being the closing price of the units traded on the SGX-ST on the relevant date of issue of the units) issued to the Manager
for its management fees, was used to determine the amount of the aggregate asset management fees paid to the Manager
for the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014.
Save as disclosed above, there were no additional Interested Person Transactions (excluding
transactions of less than S$100,000 each) entered into during the financial year under review.
On 10 February 2004, the SGX-ST has granted a waiver to CMT from Rules 905 and 906 of the Listing
Manual of the SGX-ST in relation to, inter alia, payments for management fees, payments for
acquisition and divestment fees, as well as payments of trustees fees. Such payments are not to be
included in the aggregated value of total interested person transactions as governed by Rules 905
and 906 of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST as long as there are no changes to the terms, rates
and/or bases for such fees and expenses.
In addition, the entry into the Master Property Management Agreement 2011 dated 1 December 2011
was approved by the Unitholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on 13 April 2011 and the
total property management fees and reimbursements to the property manager in respect of payroll
and related expenses payable thereunder were aggregated for the purpose of Rule 905 in FY 2011.
Accordingly, such fees and expenses will not be subject to aggregation or further Unitholders
approval requirements under Rules 905 and 906 of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST, to the extent
that there is no subsequent change to the rates and/or bases for such fees and expenses.
